Western Pacific EMS provides non-emergency Interior Medical Transport in the Kamloops area, most often to hospitals in Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. The Doctor at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops may send you home early from your ski holiday or houseboating trip to the Shuswap if you have had an injury while on vacation and need a medical repatriation.
Due to the fact that flights from Kamloops with WestJet and Air Canada are only offered in economy class, your travel insurance company may recommend that you travel by private ground ambulance from Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital to the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond.
The professional paramedics with Western Pacific EMS will ensure that you arrive safely to your medical flight in Vancouver. In fact, the private medical escort services, such as Registered Nurses, provided by Western Pacific EMS often have our Flight Paramedics and Registered Nurses assist patients home on commercial airline flights from Kamloops when they become injured.
Door to door, and bed to bed, we will help to see you home safely to your destination in Canada, and beyond. If ground ambulance transfer from Kamloops is too long of a distance, we can also send one of our private air ambulance charters from Vancouver or Calgary.
Sun Peaks Ski Resort, located just outside of Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, is home to one of British Columbia’s top ski resort destinations. And while skiing comes with great fun, it can also come at great risk of injury. Our team has helped patients from the resort to their desired or needed hospital destination to get the necessary and unplanned injury care they require.
Many Western Pacific EMS Paramedics, who work on our ambulances, are also avid skiers who can often be found out on the slopes when they are not hard at work on our medical transport and industrial ambulances throughout the British Columbia Interior Health Authority Region in Kamloops at the Royal Inland Hospital.
We tell you this so you know you have qualified and experienced ski professionals to relate while you recuperate with one of these skilled professionals en route to your medical destination.
Here are some helpful tips that will help you in the event of a medical emergency while you are up at the Sun Peaks Ski Resort.
First, if you need an emergency ambulance, you should call 911. British Columbia Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) will send an emergency ambulance when you call 911 if you are having a medical emergency.
Western Pacific EMS is not an emergency 911 ambulance. We provide pre-scheduled medical transfers to the Vancouver International Airport and to hospitals in Calgary, Alberta, from the Kamloops and Kelowna area. Western Pacific EMS is also the preferred medical safety contract company for organizations that require on-site first aid and Mobile Treatment Centre coverage in the Kamloops and Shuswap regions, including for major clients such as TECK at the Highland Valley Copper Mine, and the BC Wildfire Service in the Kamloops Fire Centre region.
Medical Transport and Mobile Treatment Centre Services in the Interior Region of British Columbia is a serious business. Western Pacific EMS private ground ambulances, Emergency Transport Vehicles, and Mobile Treatment Centres are maintained to the highest standard. Road conditions can change quickly in the Interior Region of British Columbia.
All of our ambulances are equipped with winter tires, radios, emergency supplies, shovels, and safety supplies. Our paramedics are rescue ready at all times. Your safety is of the utmost concern to our team. A hospital transfers van from Vancouver may not be ready for the harsh winter conditions that can arrive without warning in Kamloops along the high mountain passes. We know the area well, having logged tens of thousands of patient transfer miles on interior medical transports. Western Pacific EMS private ground ambulances come fully equipped and prepared for any contingency.
